+daemontools is a collection of tools for managing UNIX services.
+
+supervise monitors a service. It starts the service and restarts the
+service if it dies. Setting up a new service is easy: all supervise
+needs is a directory with a run script that runs the service.
+
+multilog saves error messages to one or more logs. It optionally
+timestamps each line and, for each log, includes or excludes lines
+matching specified patterns. It automatically rotates logs to limit the
+amount of disk space used. If the disk fills up, it pauses and tries
+again, without losing any data.
+
+Also included are svscan (starts one supervise process for each
+service), svscanboot (run by init to start svscan in the /service
+directory), readproctitle (show error messages in ps o/p) and many
+others. See the home page for a list and for documentation.
+
+This package differs from the daemontools package in that
+it installs the binaries to /usr/bin instead of /command.
+
+daemontools is written by D. J. Bernstein.
+
+See README.Slackware on how to use it after installation.
